Episode 20 - Gnome Chomsky

It's a somewhat contentious Epoch! We got drama baby! This week is another full deck, as all six of your enlightened hosts stop by for some fun. With many perspectives, comes disagreement. In this episode, we mostly debate the validity and effectiveness of electoral politics, harm reduction, voting for Biden or voting third party, rank-choice-voting, #resistence, the privilege of living in a Blue State, and the ways we can make electoral politics more representative. LE pitches what is probably the plot for the next Hostel film. Scott reviews Aaron Sorkin's very liberal The Trial of the Chicago 7. And, as always, Joe goes off on some current news stories. In the words of Comrade Jesse, "It's impossible to live in Capitalism and not be a harm reductionist."  For Scott's list of movie recommendations, go here: https://letterboxd.com/deathmullet/list/comrade-scotts-compulsory-viewings/ Check out our Patreon for bonus content and access to our Discord: https://www.patreon.com/epicincredulity Please visit comrade-rosie.org for resources in the greater Boston area. ---Timestamp--- 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:00 - The Joe Off (Current Events) 00:12:56 - SEGMENT/DISCUSSION - Rabid Radlibs with Comrade Jesse (things get contention) 00:34:37 - SEGMENT - You Can't Make this Shit Up with Comrade LE 00:42:40 - More electoral discussion, and other stray topics (part 1) 00:45:25 - Scott talks about The Trial of the Chicago 7 00:50:24 - Matt Christman sound drops 00:51:45 - More electoral discussion, and other stray topics (part 2 - Scott is tired of politics) 00:56:40 - Jesse calls Charlie Baker 01:00:35 - SEGMENT - Comrade Scott Tells You What to Watch 01:01:03 - Outro 01:07:34 - Outtakes --- Music Credits --- Intro:  Hucci - "The Fall" During LE's segment:  Kevin MacLeod - "Lobby Time" Everything else:  by Contingence [https://SoundCloud.com/contingenceBoston]
